> Mexican President Felipe Calderon will become a fellow at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government after he leaves office on Saturday, the leading US University says. Calderon will be the first participant in a specially endowed fellowship for outgoing government leaders. He will lecture, write and develop case studies based on his six-year term in office. The Kennedy School has praised Calderon for free-market policies that boosted Mexico’s economy. His presidency was also marked by a crackdown on drug cartels, which unleashed waves of violence that left over 47,500 Mexicans dead.

Ha, Yale beat Harvard to it. They got Ernesto Zedillo, president from 1994-2000, who presided over the great "Tequila crisis." He's head of Yale's Center on Globalization.
